“Hello, Boss Guo? Are you here to apologize to me?” Hou Zhenhan picked up the phone and said in a self-concerned manner.
“What?” Guo Jinyi said with shock.
“Your son ran to our territory to stir up trouble. We should just forget about it. A great man rarely stoops to pettiness or harbors grievance for past wrongs. We only gave him some lessons!” Hou Zhenhan said with conviction, “We’re giving you enough face this time. If it was another person, we would have killed him!”
“…” Guo Jinbiao was mad as he stuttered, “You… you…”
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I will hang up the phone. I’m still busy here…” As Hou Zhenhan finished, he ended the call directly without bothering to see whether Guo Jinbiao had other words to be said.
“Mothef*cker!” Guo Jinbiao suddenly put down his cell phone on the table. “He’s going too far. He’s going too far! A few little cubs who are courting death, thinking that with some power, they don’t recognize their limits? Motherf*cker, I want you to know that the older the wiser!”
“Brother Biao, don’t be angry…” Guo Jinbiao’s strategist, Yu Xiaohu, came over and smiled charmingly. “Brother Biao, I think that Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan really don’t know their limits!”
“Huzi [1], what do you say?” Guo Jinbiao had some headaches. He thought it would be enough just by scaring Bao Sanli. But now, they didn’t pay me respect! If I hold it in, then I would have no face in the underworld. But, if I bring people to Song Jiang to fight on a large scale, not only would it take time and effort, but also the most important factor is that war requires money!
Once I fight with Bao Sanli, my losses won’t be small. If I can take down the territory of Song Jiang in one swoop, then it’s fine. But, the thing that I’m most afraid of is that both sides suffer losses and neither side wins.
While the sandpiper and clam fight together, the fisherman catches both [2]. If an unexpected man intervenes, it wouldn’t be worthwhile!
But, Guo Jinbiao’s current situation was like the arrow on the bowstring… So, he was sitting there in a volatile manner because he couldn’t decide what to do.
“Brother Biao, I know that you’re very angry now, but in the current situation, it isn’t suitable to invade Song Jiang on a large scale.” Yu Xiaohu hesitated and said, “There are two reasons for it. One is that right now is the end of the year. The combat against crimes is more severe. If underlings like us form a group to fight in a gang war in Song Jiang, it’s easy to get into trouble. You might need to spend your Chinese New Year’s Eve in prison… The second reason is that if we really have a war with Bao Sanli, it’s really not beneficial. Even if we terminate them, it will take us a lot of effort. In the end, the ones with the most benefit are the Sun Family from Donghai…”
Ignore the word “Hu” in Xiaohu’s name [3]. The way he conducted himself in society wasn’t dumb but also very smart.
When Guo Jinbiao listened to Xiaohu’s analysis, he couldn’t help but nod. This was exactly what he was concerned about, so he sighed, “Huzi, you’re right. But, if we don’t make any counterattacks, won’t Bao Sanli think that we are afraid of them? How do we mingle around in the underworld in the future?”
“Of course, we can’t do nothing as well. But, we can take an alternative approach.” Yu Xiaohu said with a deep sigh, “How about we go with dark and secretive means? We can look for someone to find trouble for Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli and terrify them. Let them know that we aren’t easily bullied.”
“Do you mean assassination?” Guo Jinbiao immediately had an interest.
“It’s not necessary to assassinate. We’re here to mingle around the underworld but not sell our lives. With a little intimidation, it will be sufficient. Of course, we can break his leg.” Yu Xiaohu said maliciously, “With that, we won’t break the rules. They hurt our young master; we break their leg. He can’t really say anything.”
“Good idea!” Guo Jinbiao nodded after listening to it. He was very happy and patted Yu Xiaohu’s shoulder. “Huzi, then who do you want to send for this thing?”
“That’s the problem.” Yu Xiaohu frowned. “There must be some protection around Bao Sanli. Moreover, I heard that Hou Zhenhan was originally a master. Last time, the hitmen hired by the Four Snakes Gang from the South were defeated by him.”
“When you mentioned that, I somehow remembered it. Then, in our gang, except for the two, Gangzi and Luzi, no others could go one on one.” Guo Jinbiao asked with some concern.
“A one on one fight would definitely not work.” Yu Xiaohu shook his head. “We won’t go there for a one on one fight. We will send someone to ambush him from the dark. Even Gangzi and Luzi are good in one on one fights. What’s so strong about that? Would they want to fight one on one? If they are noticed by the people around Bao Sanli, won’t that become a group fight?”
Guo Jinbiao couldn’t help but feel convinced. Y es, how would they want to fight one on one? If they get caught, won’t it be a group of people beating them up?
“With that said, this method isn’t going to work either?” Guo Jinbiao shook his head.
“Why not? Can’t we send people that are not from our gang?” Yu Xiaohu laughed.
“We don’t send our own brothers? Who do we send then?” Guo Jinbiao didn’t understand.
” Hehe , Brother Biao, have you forgotten? There is a veteran assassin organization in our province… When you assassinated the original boss of Jidun City, Brother Daxing, three years ago, didn’t you do business with them?” Yu Xiaohu reminded him.
“Do you mean the Black Widow Vengeance Organization?” Guo Jinbiao’s face twitched. Obviously, he didn’t want to get along with such an organization. He was forced to do it the last time. This time around, if he had to ask the assassins out again because of this incident … he was a bit reluctant.
It was natural that gangsters weren’t willing to have anything to do with the assassins group. After all, the gangsters were dealing with tricks and territory, not killing people for a living. But the assassin organization was different. This kind of organization was a pure killing machine…
If I really get on their nerves, I might not know how I die tomorrow. So last time, after Guo Jinbiao paid the full amount of money, he never contacted the organization again.
“You are right. Only they can do this.” Yu Xiaohu nodded.
Guo Jinbiao nodded and shook his head. He couldn’t help but contemplate. He had to figure out the pros and cons. But, when he thought about the humiliation he had suffered just now and previously, Guo Jinbiao gritted his teeth and nodded. “Okay, just do it! Go and get me an anonymous phone card!”
“Alright, I’m right on it.” Yu Xiaohu nodded. He turned around and walked out. On the other hand, Guo Jinbiao opened the fingerprint safe in the office and found a phone book in it.
When Xiaohu returned to the room, Guo Jinbiao had locked the safe, leaving only the phone book.
Guo Jinbiao took the phone card with a trembling hand, and then he stuffed it into a cell phone. He booted up the phone and waited for it to find the network signal. Guo Jinbiao followed the number written on the book and dialed.
“Sky king covers ground tiger.”
After the phone call was connected, the other party directly spoke the first part of the secret code.
“The… widow is dead.” Guo Jinbiao said carefully. He wasn’t sure after this organization existed for so many years, whether it still used the previous secret code.
“Who are you looking for?” asked the other party.
“Black widow.” When Guo Jinbiao saw that the other side didn’t question it, he slightly felt at ease. This time, he answered smoothly.
“Welcome to the Black Widow Vengeance Company. Do you need any help?” When the other party noticed that the secret code was correct twice, he asked slowly.
“I want you to help me kill… No, help me teach a person a lesson.” Guo Jinbiao said carefully, “This person is called Bao Sanli. He’s a person from Song Jiang…”
“Is it Bao Sanli?” The other party hesitated and said, “What does this person do? You guys should be clear in your heart. About the price…”
“No problem. I want to cripple both of his legs. Just state your price! If you can let him be bedridden for three months, that’s enough!” Guo Jinbiao said quickly.
“One million yuan.” The other said faintly.
“One million yuan? Isn’t that expensive?” Guo Jinbiao had some pain.
“Then, please ask another expert.” After the person spoke, he was about to hang up.
“Wait! I agree! One million it is then! You must let him become bedridden!” Guo Jinbiao said quickly.
“This isn’t a problem… You should be our old customer too, right? You can rest assured on our reputation. If we can’t achieve it, we won’t collect any fee.” The other party said.
“Alright, then I will transfer the deposit to your account? Is it the initial one?” asked Guo Jinbiao.
“No, now we have changed to online payment. I will tell you a website. You just follow the instructions and type into it accordingly. Don’t make a mistake on your serial number.” The other party instructed.
Hanging up the phone, Guo Jinbiao logged onto the website. He filled in the serial number and then paid the money online according to the instructions.
